Pro Sound Web: Like many other aspects to mixing, the use of reverb is frequently either overlooked or misunderstood.
Reverb is sometimes added to a track to create width and depth, but also to dress up an otherwise boring sound. The real secret is how much to use and how to adjust its various parameters.

I just think of the word reverb and I get happy. To be completely honest, reverb is my favorite effect to use for most of the things I mix on my computer and when I'm mixing live. Of course there are certain times when reverb isn't really necessary, but I try to find a way to sneak it in. I think the reason I love to use reverberation so much is that I like to create an environment. I try very hard to never publish a dry-mixed track. It bores me listening to something without any depth so I try to not bore anyone with my tracks. If you've heard some of the recent projects I've worked on, such as Playground, box projects, and arcade, my love for reverb is very apparent. The article is right in saying that the "secret is how much to use." You have the potential of making something sound great, but there is a possibility that it could sound really bad if you use too much effect. It's all about finding that balance and seeing/hearing if you're creating the type of space you want and the size of that environment.
